Breaking News: Turner Broadcasting Owes Boston an Apology and a Big Fat Expense Check
Part One:
As quoted from the Breaking News header on Boston.com, just minutes ago:
"Turner Broadcasting is expected to issue an apology for causing
today’s series of bomb scares throughout Boston. A statement emailed to
the Globe from Turner Broadcasting said: "The ‘packages’ in question
are magnetic lights that pose no danger. They are part of an outdoor
marketing campaign in 10 cities in support of Adult Swim’s animated
television show Aqua Teen Hunger Force. They have been in place for two
to three weeks in Boston, New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Atlanta,
Seattle, Portland, Austin, San Francisco, and Philadelphia. Parent
company Turner Broadcasting is in contact with local and federal law
enforcement on the exact locations of the billboards. We regret that
they were mistakenly thought to pose any danger."
Part Two:
Dear Turner Broadcasting,
For your next outdoor marketing campaign (if you are ever legally allowed to do one ever, ever again), please make certain that your display pieces do not eerily resemble homemade pipe bombs. If you fail to notice this likeness yet again, you will send the entire city of Boston into a hyperventilatory bomb-threat-spaz, not unlike what happened today.
Warm Regards,
A Boston Commuter/Marketer Who Thinks You’re a Huge Fuck-Up
